Serum, urine and tissue from a rat model of chronic kidney disease (CKD) were analysed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy-based metabolomics methods, and compared with samples from sham operated rats. Both urine and serum were sampled at multiple timepoints, and the results have ...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) presents a critical global health challenge, marked by the progressive decline of renal function. This study explores the role of the 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 enzyme (HSD3B2) and steroid hormone biosynthesis pathway in CKD pathogenesis and progression. U...
Kidney injury initiates epithelial dedifferentiation and myofibroblast activation during the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Herein, we found that the expression of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) was significantly increased in the kidney tissues of both CKD...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a known risk factor for the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD), with no satisfactory strategy to prevent the progression of AKI to CKD. Damage to the renal vascular system and subsequent hypoxia are common contributors to both AKI and CKD. Hypoxia inducible f...
